The Tech

Tech & Features

The Flute takes inspiration from the popular Husume and is an incredibly versatile and fun off piste focused ski. The flex patterns and sizes have been adjusted to cater for female skiers who are looking for a high performance ski whose flex pattern and ride is geared towards their weight, and physique.

When built in our lightweight XTC construction, the Flute is one of the most efficient female touring skis on the market!

The Flute is named after Flute ridge which sits on the boundary of Whistler Mountain and is a favourite side country spot for pow stashes days after the last storm.

Further Customization

Custom Shapes

The Prior shop has been making custom "one off" snowboards since 1990. The layout and design of our factory has been built with this in mind. We can make a board to pretty much any shape and flex pattern you want. The following chart outlines prices for common revisions to existing templates:

Description

C$ surcharge

Custom flex (softer or stiffer)

$70*

Narrowing waist

$150*

Widening waist

$150*

Custom templates (including taper changes)

$300*

*These prices are estimates, and are variable depending on the shape and your specific request. 1cm widening or above needs a custom template.

To apply one of these additional requests to your order, simply search on the website the word "custom" and pick whichever item applies and add to cart along with your order. Write any notes in the additional notes section and we will be in touch if we have any further questions.

Complete Custom ShapesIf your dream board requires more than the revisions listed above please email us with your ideas. Some discussion will be required to determine the best performance results. Ultimately the price will be determined by the complexity of the project.

Prior has been offering custom graphics since 1990 and provides a complete custom topsheet and base graphic service. This is ideal for riders who want a one-of-a-kind look on their Prior board, and for companies who desire special corporate gifts and/or promotions.

Topsheet Artwork

Topsheet design and colour options are almost unlimited. We can print topsheets of photo color quality. All topsheets are sublimated onto a white, gloss nylon topsheet for a professional look and finish. (sorry we cannot sublimate onto a clear topsheet material therefore clear windows are not an option for one off customs). Above prices based on receipt of art in digital file format in either of the following formats:

* For art that is done in vector based (ie. Illustrator or similar) program we require artwork in PDF or AI format.

* For bit mapped based art (ie. Photoshop or similar) we require TIFF, PSD or PDFformats. The File size must be 300 DPI in rectangular shape that measures6cm longer than desired board length x 34cm wide. Note that files will likely be in excess of 100MB and can be sent by Dropbox etc or droped off at the factory.

Base Artwork

Prior offers diecut custom bases in one to three colors. As base colors are actually cut with a knife there are some design limitations. We ask that you first email a low res jpeg file to us for review and approval.

For any custom topsheet or shaping project you will need to contact our sales staff for guidance and accurate quotes. Please email us at orders@priorsnow.com or call 604 935 1923 to chat about your custom artwork or other custom options.

Timing

Our build times vary based on production volume and seasonal needs. Despite the time of year we aim to have your order built within 4 weeks of confirming your order. Sometimes this time will vary but rest assured we are putting the time and effort into hand building your custom ride!

For full custom orders build time is typically 6-8 weeks due to the supplier requirements for non-inventory items.

Afraid you won't have your order in time for your big mission or trip? Don't worry we will do our best to accommodate rush orders that our communicated to us at orders@priorsnow.com
